Siwon is coming back to perform

Super Junior’s Choi Siwon will take part in the group’s upcoming concerts in Seoul despite his absence in promoting the group’s latest album due to a fatal accident involving his family’s pet dog, his agency said Tuesday.

Choi will appear at the “Super Junior World Tour Super Show 7” concerts to be held in Seoul’s Jamsil Stadium in southern Seoul from Dec. 15-17, according to reports.

“We discussed whether to include Siwon or not, but since the contract was inked several months ago, it was practically impossible to make any changes [to the concerts],” the company said.

He has been missing from the group’s appearances on TV and radio to promote its eighth full-length album “Play,” which was released on Nov. 6. The singer’s restaurateur neighbor died from sepsis after being bitten by the Choi family’s French bulldog in late September. The singer and his family have come under public criticism for failing to properly restrain the dog. Yonhap
